The Bucks and Hornets don't have to wait long to meet again.
On Saturday, the Hornets hosted the Bucks in what was the second meeting of the season between the two teams. Giannis Antetokounmpo went off for 43 points and 12 rebounds while Khris Middleton fell an assist shy of a 27-point triple-double, but it wasn't quite enough to overcome a balanced Hornets attack.
Terry Rozier led Charlotte in scoring with 28 points. Miles Bridges added 21 points, LaMelo Ball (19 points, nine rebounds, eight assists) flirted with his own triple-double and Kelly Oubre Jr. chipped in with 18 points off the bench.

The Bucks will have an opportunity to get some revenge on Monday when the Hornets host them again.
"I think the biggest thing heading into Monday night's game is who handles this game better? Do they handle their loss better than we handle the win?" Hornets head coach James Borrego said. "Or will we have a maturity about us and come out swinging again on Monday night with something to prove against the NBA champions?
"We still have a lot to prove. We have to be the hunter right now, and that's the mentality going into Monday night."
